I feel the Story of the Running Year 2013 cannot be told without sharing what happened on the last day of 2012, to me and my family.

Looking back at the last 10 months of running is looking back at how we made the best of the hurdles we had to face after we lost our first home here in Holland.

    1. Hi Chris!!!

      Thanks for dropping by. :) This is what I love about blogging so much: the opportunity to meet awesome people I would otherwise not meet in daily life, and interact through the web before meeting them finally in person.

      Will check out the blog links you shared, and leave comments/impressions. Barefoot running is something I really want to delve into more.

      Success to all your endevours!

  4. I like the year recap. I've been thinking of doing this for some sort of scrapbook as this was my first year of running all year and I have accomplished so many goals as well. :)
